There are chunky dad sneakers, and then there are Rihanna's Balenciaga Triple S trainers ($850), which fall into a different category. While some ladies have been blending neutral kicks like these with plaid pantsuits or jeans and a tee, Rihanna's footwear was made to stand out. Clearly, by opting for a gray Palace sweatsuit and metallic slate Vetements bomber, the star was well-aware.

At JFK airport, Rihanna accessorized with her Dior logo purse and Gentle Monster x Alexander Wang sunglasses, pulling neon socks to meet the hem of her pants and thereby extending the color pop of her shoes. Rihanna's travel outfit was casual, sure, but in our eyes, her sneakers made it pretty darn incredible. If you're into them, you can shop the exact pair ahead, along with similar, more affordable options.
